a beef tenderloin?  I'm going to make one tomorrow for New Year's and I've never done it before.  I have a recipe, but just wondering if you guys had any tips.  Nothing like waiting til the last minute!

I would ask on whats cooking

Season with lots of sea salt and pepper and throw it on the grill!  Make sure you let it sit out of the fridge for 20-30 minutes before cooking or it will take forever for the center to get done.  mmmmmmm

if its already pre seasoned just throw it in a shallow baking pan, put foil on the bottom of the pan bc the drippings might burn and stick to it

You don't need to do much to it--salt and pepper is all.  Roast in a 425-450 degree oven until the meat reaches about 135-140 degrees (for medium rare-medium.  It's also a good idea, as pp suggested, to bring the meat to room temperature before cooking (promotes more even cooking).

ditto the PPs. They key is not to overcook it though you may want to slice off a piece for yourself to cook a little extra if you're worried about underdone meat while pg.
